This rocky mountain is not big but very high. It is the highest mountain in the vicinity, so standing on it, you can see the general situation within a radius of five miles.
But in the middle of the night, the rumbling sound is especially loud. Even if there is interference from rain and thunder, they can imagine the scene of the mudslide rolling down the mountain, overwhelming the trees, and sweeping away the rocks.
The captain of the guard looked at the mudslides surging down the mountain, and couldn't help wiping a cold sweat. Fortunately, they were fast enough, and if they slowed down a little bit, they were afraid that they would be buried in the mudslides.
Mu Yangling is also very fortunate, but it is not safe at this time. Now this mountain is like a lonely mountain surrounded by mudslides, and the rain is getting heavier. She is not sure that this mountain can be saved even if it goes down like this. They are already at the top of the mountain.
The most important thing is that all their luggage was thrown away. Except for this set of clothes, they didn't even have any clothes to keep out the cold. They were adults, but Baozhu and the little leopard were still small.
"Look around on this mountain to see if there are any caves or the like. If not, find a protruding rock that can shelter from the rain and avoid the rain first." Mu Yangling instructed: "Be careful, don't make any accidents. "
The captain of the guards agreed, and hurriedly dispatched six guards to look for it.
Fortunately, they were lucky. They found a small cave a little up the mountainside. Maybe it can't be called a cave, but a rock stretched out, while the bottom rock was recessed a lot, because there was only one meter between the rocks. The distance from the beginning, so no matter how strong the wind and rain are, it can't penetrate.
Mu Yangling and the others needed to climb in, but the little leopard and Baozhu cautiously went in hand in hand. Seeing that the space was warm and dry, with their mother by their side, they felt much safer.
A group of 19 people squeezed into this space, and they could only turn around. Because there was no dry firewood, they could only check the small cave with the weak light of flint.
After confirming safety, Mu Yangling sat cross-legged on the ground and pulled the two children over to take off the tarpaulins on their bodies.
No matter how tightly they were wrapped, they were still a little wet under such a heavy wind and rain.
Mu Yangling said solemnly: "You must find some firewood, even if it is not dry, if you don't light a fire, you will definitely get sick if you stay up all night."
The chief guard immediately said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, although there is little vegetation on this mountain, some firewood can still be found. Bring it back to dry, and then we will find a way to make a fire."
Mu Yangling nodded and let them go.
"I don't know what happened to your uncle and father." Mu Yangling was full of worries, Qi Xiuyuan was poisoned, and the court was afraid of chaos, so Qi Haoran couldn't find time to find them.
What Mu Yangling didn't know was that the people sent by Fan Zijin and Rongxuan were looking at the mudslide in front of them with tears in their eyes, and shouted, "The maiden is inside, the maiden is inside!"
Fan Zijin's people arrived here first, and Rongxuan's people asked in disbelief, "Are you sure?"
"There is absolutely nothing wrong, we just asked the people in the village and said that they set off early in the morning, and it should be this part based on their footsteps, not to mention, you have also seen the wheel marks just now, the marks of the wheel. It belongs to the palace."
"Maybe Niangniang and the others are walking fast, just out of the mudslide area?" The other guards were still reluctant to accept this fact easily.
Fan Zijin's people gritted their teeth and said, "Come on, let's take a detour to the downstream and see if the princess and the others have come out."
Unfortunately, the group did not get news from the princess below. The villagers who lived below said that no one came out on this road for the past two days.
The villagers said: "The rain has been continuous during this time. Unless there is a major event of the sky falling, who would hurry at this time?"
Isn't the emperor's poisoning a major event that the sky is falling?
But this is not the time to worry about this. The faces of the two teams are both blue and white, and they ask: "Are you sure that no one came out of this road yesterday and today?"
The villagers nodded affirmatively.
"It's over, Niangniang and the others are definitely still inside."
"Maybe it's hiding in the mountains, why don't you wait for the rain to stop, let's go in and look for it."
"Send someone to deliver the letter to the capital first..."
This time, they no longer only use fast horses, but homing pigeons. After all, no matter how fast a person is, no homing pigeon is as fast.
Fan Zijin and Rong Xuan received the news on the same day, their faces almost turned pale, Fan Zijin almost fainted, and his heart was empty.
The hated people who grew up with you are gone?
Fan Zijin shook his lips and said with a trembling voice, "Go tell Haoran and Xiaoxiong."
Rong Xuan grabbed him and said solemnly: "Haoran just finished changing the blood, and the poison has only been half resolved. At this time, he can't be stimulated!"
Fan Zijin shook his head with red eyes, "You don't know him, if you don't tell him, he will hate us to death, and his life will never be better. He has always been more frustrated and brave, you can rest assured, as long as he doesn't see A Ling corpse, he will surely cheer up immediately."
Fan Zijin murmured: "This must be told to him!"
"That's your wishful thinking," Rong Xuan held him back and said, "The emperor's situation is deteriorating now, Haoran can't do anything, or who will Daqi rely on? Everyone is sad when A Ling passes away, but he is still young, time can take everything away... …”
"No!" Fan Zijin whispered in a hoarse voice: "A-Ling is more important than his life, if he didn't try hard when he knew that A-Ling was missing, he would definitely be worse off in the future, Brother Rong, I can't make him suffer so much."
Rongxuan opened his mouth, Fan Zijin tore off his hand and walked quickly to Kunning Palace.
Qi Haoran was still lying on the same bed with Qi Xiuyuan, but his condition was better than Qi Xiuyuan.
Yuanhui exchanged blood for them, and Qi Haoran immediately became poisoned, but his inner strength was deep and his body was strong. The moment the poisonous blood entered, he subconsciously used his inner strength to protect his heart and internal organs. After the blood exchange, I drank the detoxification soup in time, even if I felt uncomfortable, half of the poison was solved at this time.
But Qi Xiuyuan is different. His body is not very good at first. It took more than ten years of recuperation to reach the level of a normal person. He originally focused on health preservation and wanted to live a long life. .
In addition, his poison had been sealed in his body for four days, which caused great damage to his body. Even if Qi Haoran's blood was replaced with good fusion, the poisonous blood would still erode his body.
And Yuanhui's medicine was a bit violent, Qi Xiuyuan's already broken body couldn't bear it, he even vomited blood one after another, and his pulse weakened for a while.
Yuanhui used the precious Tibetan medicine in the palace but failed to reverse the situation, and now she can only hang herself with ginseng.
Qi Haoran could only detoxify while accompanying his eldest brother, staring at Yuanhui and the imperial physicians.
